Different positions, but I've liked John Carlson more since the draft and he's way more of an impact player. While Neimsz has closed the gap between him and Carlsson over the season, I still wish the Flames had Carlsson in their cupboard.
Jokinen is the only guy you list capable of cxarrying a line each night. The other guys are similar to Huselius. When they are "on" there game they can take over but too inconsistent to be considereed line carriers.
